Masada and the World of the New Testament

For those who identify Masada with the ancient Jewish Maccabbean revolt against the Romans, this tracing of Christian roots through Herodian times and first century Judea may be a revelation. Issued in conjunction with a BYU exhibition of Masada artifacts, the collection includes an address on Herod's mountain fortress featuring Yigal Yadin, a foremost Israeli archeologist, a review of Arnold Green's "The Masada Myth" (1995), and b&w illustrations.
